Art imitates life...

Yesterday on ABC’s sitcom Boston Legal, attorney Shirley Schmidt, played by Candice Bergen, was tasked with defending a “shock jock” who was fired for saying on air, “Old people should die.” The comment was allegedly part of his political argument that the United States “could be heading for a day when the bulk of our federal budget goes to subsidizing retirees.”
While the plot of the show is fictional, Bergen’s character took a real-life approach in her arguments defending the fired radio host. She blasted the media for censoring political content while ignoring “racist or hateful remarks”:

Glenn Beck. He’s on CNN, the “most trusted name in news.” He’s referred to the Katrina survivors as a vulgarity I’m not allowed to repeat here. He also said he didn’t think it possible to hate any victims faster than the 9/11 victims.
These so-called journalists are everywhere, and frankly, I wouldn’t mind seeing them gone. But it’s one thing to curtail racist or hateful remarks, it’s quite another to censor political content.
Here’s the Sept. 9 quote on The Glenn Beck Show that Bergen referenced:

But the second thought I had when I saw these people and they had to shut down the Astrodome and lock it down, I thought: I didn’t think I could hate victims faster than the 9-11 victims. These guys — you know it’s really sad. We’re not hearing anything about Mississippi. We’re not hearing anything about Alabama. … And that’s all we’re hearing about, are the people in New Orleans. Those are the only ones we’re seeing on television are the scumbags.

There were no holds barred in last nights Boston Legal. Danny was charged with the Larry Craig crime. The Defense gave all the stats of criminal action by all the Law Makers. He talked about how Senator Vitters wasn't charged nor did the press make anything of it. He also spoke of Romney and his support for gay rights, then turned to the reporters and said he did charge his mind about it.
There was a little illegal immigration in the show. Last night the names were flying out in all the cases. It one of the best shows this year. Now back to Danny he won his case based on the fact he never offered money or even spoke to the dude. Danny admitted he did have sex with woman in public bathrooms but he's not gay so a man is out.
I was thinking about if Larry Craig did have a trial he might have won if he just told the truth but I know he was scared the real truth would have come out that he really is gay and his been all his life.

This is so sickening...hating victims?
Now you can see how the world of journalism is in complete shambles with bigots and asswipes like Beck that make sickening comments about the 9/11 victims.
OK, so Beck rolled around in the mud in the lower levels of hell, just like Horseface Coulter.
